As we saw in many I love Chile
articles, Torres del Paine is one of the favorite destinations
of tourists (and also for Chileans). Incredible landscapes, mountains, glaciers,
rivers and lakes, in the wonderful Chilean Patagonia. There are many
activities, such as hiking, kayaking, visiting the glacier national park by
boat. According to the Huffington post’s ranking, Torres del Paine is better
than the Argentinean glacier neighbor el Calafate and El Perito Moreno (#9).

#7: Viña del
Mar

The famous beach of the V
Region is seen as a pleasant beach town on Chile’s central coast. Tourists
can enjoy sand dunes, learn surfing and enjoy the eccentricities of the city.

#13: San Pedro
de Atacama

In the middle of nowhere the
vast desert affords gorgeous views of canyons, sand, and at night an endless
star-scape sweeping over the bleached rocks. Many tourists enjoy horseback
riding through the desert or doing sand surfing.

#15: Easter
Island

Situated a couple thousand
miles west of Chile’s central coast, this Polynesian Island is incomparable
to any other because of the hundreds of Moai statues. It’s not the easiest
place to get to, and we have to acknowledge that few tourists and Chileans
have had the luck (or privilege) to go there, because of the high price of
flights and hotels, and also the few scheduled flights offered to go there,
but as a landmark this one has put Chile on the map.
